8.3.3 DIRECTION SELECT input signal
(1) Level signal to define the moving direction of the head when the STEP line is pulsed.
(2) Step-out (moving away from the center of the disk) is defined as HIGH level of this signal. Conversely, step-in (moving toward the center of the disk) is defined as LOW level of this signal.
(3) The signal shall maintain its level for 0.8µs, Min. prior to the trailing edge of the STEP pulse. Refer to Fig. 9.2-1.

Refer to Fig. 9.2-1.
STEP pulses less than 3ms interval for the same direction or less than 4ms interval for a direction change may cause seek error.

8.3.14 Input/Output sgnal for density mode setting (MODE SELECT)

(1) Stand-by mode
When both of the following conditions are satisfied, FDD goes to the stand-by mode (low power consumption mode).
(a) The spindle motor stops.
(b) Not in the seek operation (including the settling time).
Note: In the stand-by mode, the FDD can immediately respond to a command from host controller with no restriction.
If the polling operation of the DRIVE SELECT line is done in the stand-by mode, current flows intermittently and +5V current slightly increases.
(2) Simultaneous operation of motor start and seek
If a seek operation is done during the start-up of the spindle motor, or if the motor starts during the seek operation, +5V current at motor start increases by 0.55A, Max. from the value in Table 7.1-1.
Stepping motor is energized at high power from the first STEP to 15msec after the last STEP.
(3) +5V current increases for 15ms after a lapse of 500ms by engergizing of the motor.
10. FRAME GROUNDING
(1) The FDD frame is electrically connected to DC 0V by the FG strap on the main PCBA. (See Fig. 10-1) (2) If it is required to separate the FDD frame from DC 0V, remove the FG strap. However, the FDD frame
must be electrically connected to DC 0V by some other method when the FDD is tested alone.
(3) If it is required to connect the FDD frame to the host side by other cabling method, M2.6 tapped hole at the rear side of the FDD can be used. (See Fig. 3-1).

11. CUSTOMER SELECTABLE STRAPS
11.1 Function Summary of StrapsThe FDD is equipped with the following selectable straps on the main PCBA. Insertion of a short bar onto the post pin is defined as the on-state of the strap. Refer to Table 1-1 in item. 1. as to the strap setting at delivery and selectable straps.
Notes : *straps overlap with other strap posts. Insert a short bar according to your priority.
11.2 DS0/DS1
(1) In the multiplex control, these straps designate the address of the FDD.
(2) By the combination with the DRIVE SELECT 0 ~ 1 signals, two addresses, Max. can be designated.
Refer to Fig. 8.2.2-1 and Table 11.1-1.
11.3 HA Strap
The HA strap is one for automatically setting the FDD to the 1MB mode or high density mode (1.6MB mode or 2MB mode) according to the type of a disk installed.
This should be always set to ON for using the FDD in the 2MB/1.6MB/1MB modes.
11.4 RY34/DC34 Straps
(1) RY34 strap is used to output the READY signal on interface pin No.34.
(2) DC34 strap are used to output the DISK CHANGE signal on interface pin No.34, 2.

12. TURN ON CONDITION OF INDICATOR AND SPINDLE MOTOR
12.1 Front Bezel IndicatorTwo types of indicator (LED) turn-on condition are offered for selection using the IR strap.
However, the indicator keeps off until 3.1ms has passed after the DRIVE SELECTion to avoid the polling operation of the DRIVE SELECT signal.
12.2 Spindle Motor
The spindle motor rotates while the MOTOR ON signal is TRUE. However, the spindle motor does not rotate at any condition while no disk is installed.
